I can't believe it's July starting tomorrow...
It's so weird how fast a month goes by, when I think back, I haven't done an awful lot~ (.__. ;; )
(Though I did get taxed an awful lot for a part timer! A 3 digit sum... TAT!! How hurtful~!!!! *Cries inside*)

Any ways, a chibi Melon! (I would die to eat some water melon right now!!) I thought it'll be cute as stationary design for when I get a table at an expo~! ♥
Table plans are on hold/no longer going forward as Wing got an awesome design job working for Eyeko!! ♥♥♥
I don't really feel right having a table without her, since it was her idea too and she encouraged me to work towards it! T^T~!! So it's a bit "bleh" if I was to replace her with someone else~! Wouldn't feel right at all~~ TAT;;
It's a huge relief though~! Ahaha, I wonder if I'm at that standard yet, where my work is sellable * 3*;; most of my stuff are not professionally finished and such! *wipes sweat* It also gives me some time for me to plan out my manga more...!

Doodle~! Was supposed to be for Timbermoonkiss on deviantart for being so sweet to me...
but I felt like I ought to draw her something better *__*!!

As for my foundation results, I got a distinction on my essay... which funnily enough, 90% of it was recycled from my A2 essay~ and I got a Merit, close to distinction on my final piece *__*!!

I feel kind of relieved, I thought I'll only get a high pass (a pass is still a pass!) The only thing it let me down was the way I presented my final piece... T3T;; as it didn't scream out what the concept was... a lot of people got confused~! ahaha XD;;

Ahhh... @__@;; another CG fail~!!

Saved it the wrong size and closed the window, so I can't really add much to it, because of how small the canvas size is!
It's supposed to be Angie, bonniebix  's character from Chocolate Radiance.

I was almost finished as well! Now I need to restart all over ~__~;; (I didn't like the hair any ways! *sweats*)

Wow~ *__*;; something surreal and unbelievable happened to me! I got a daily deviation for my London expo, ginger bread piece!
It’s a bit… weird…? I don’t know how to word it! Though it’s something major right? *__*;; It was all too exciting for me to handle! @A@;;


Went to watch Batman: The dark knight, a few days ago; I was so excited since everyone kept saying how amazing it was! I guess it was okay, it started off really slow~ but plot wise it was good *0*!! I love Heath Ledger’s Joker, the laugh was spot on! Though there wasn’t much in the fight scenes, a lot of action was edited out/cut off screen?

I was watching the news earlier and they were talking about the rules/ laws in China (Olympics), mentioning how:
[1] If you're fat you are not allowed to wear horizontal stripes
[2] You're only allowed to wear white socks and black shoes.
[3] In the underground, you're not allowed to carry a TV or a refrigerator.

I was showing my boyfriend my little sketchbook only for him to say, "Hey, isn't he the guy in you cookie picture?!"
Then I realised that they really do look the same! (It was unintentional!) Since I drew him so much times, maybe I should make him into a original character for a manga? T__T~~ But he has no name at this current moment...!

( See pictures here! )

And here's a random Rukia headshot I found in my sketchbook:

★ Started playing this game on Sunday~ *__*;; it's so fun and cute! Though I'm not a big gamer, especially in arcades~ (I actually think this game is for little children? @__@;; hmmm...)

★ Expo is this Saturday! Quite nervous as I have lots of stuff to sort out before then. This time round, I'm gonna spend wisely!! >_<;; I realised the last time I came back from the expo, I brought a ton of useless stuff that only cluttered my room, e.g. un-used bleach and FMA posters etc~ Gonna limit myself to one plushie! *__*;; because my bed is getting too crowded and I already have sack full of soft toys~

(Aahaha, but I have a feeling, I'm gonna splash out on Bleach merchandise again... dunno why it's only this series where I spend my money on... I think because I love Ichigo, Rukia and Kon... *__*;; )

It’s snowing! *__*!! Apparently it snowed yesterday too, the size of cotton balls! But I was still sleeping, taking advantage of the fact I never get to sleep in… T__T!!

 
Anyways, here’s a preview of Melon (OC); still trying to find suitable colours for her…

 

 

Two updates in a row! 0__0;;

Aww~ My C:drive is officially kapoot and burnt out! All my school work and CGs were on that drive >___<;; (luckily, my main coursework projects are all handed in!) I was rotating between 5 CGs: 2 requests, 3 bleach fan art; 3 of which were almost completed… OTL;;



I have to say that my new year didn’t go so well, since January, I’ve…

1) Lost my old phone and my sim chip when my current phone was off to repair (at least it wasn’t my new phone right? I still had £14 of credit on it and personal text messages on that sim T^T!! )

2) I might be made redundant from my current job OTL;; I find out on the 19th…I think…

3) My PC died on me, which practically had everything on it… T0T;; photos, school work, all my CG programmes, manga etc >0<;;



But~ I know things will get better *__*;; it could be a lot worse, so I should be grateful for that! I’m feeling the emptiness of not being able to read manga everyday, ahaha /dork

Also, I got into LCC! (My 1st choice) I was so nervous in the interview. My stomach was hurting so badly, I felt like throwing up! O_<;;


[mood| moody]

Happy belated new year! ♥

I recently went to visit Tokyo toys, located in i-maginations Center, as it was their grand new years opening! *__* It was quite fun, though I still can’t help but feel freaked out by the models in the i-maginations centre… ~__~;; so ugly~

In the end, I gave in to temptation and brought a Yuki Bleach fleece cap (It doesn't fit! Lol! ) and another Kon plush! Now I wanna buy the Chappy and Kon fleece hat to complete the set! @__@;; ahh~ my otaku drive.


My new years resolutions are: (so far I’m doing not so good! Ahaha)
1) Be more organized and not to do work last minute!
2) To get As on all classes! /geek
3) Not to laze around and make use of my time.
4) Start a manga or several one shots instead.
5) To finally make that visit to the dentist~ ;___;
6) To read more! <3
7) Practice more drawing.


[mood| rushed]

Just over two weeks ago, I remember my class mate saying that it was good that I was ill with the flu, because it meant that I wouldn’t be ill for Christmas… somehow I was! T__T;; I think I caught another flu… it’s so annoying! I’m not sure why…

Nonetheless, Christmas went well! Hehe, I got to watch “SpongeBob Squarepants”, “Finding Nemo”, “Shrek” and so many other movies on TV, I felt so spoilt! I also got to watch “Pans Labyrinth” again on Film4, it was as amazing as the first time I’ve watched it *__*!! Surprisingly, I enjoyed watching “Enchanted”. I thought the singing will want to make me rip my hair out, but it was funny, I love the Chipmunk!

Oohh~ Almost forgot! I got my Secret Santa piece *__*!! hehe, it's so perfect! I think I have a slight idea who it is... ^__^o hehe!

I hope everyone had a great Christmas! ♥

Quick update before I do some school work~ @A@;; ahaha (I seem to blog a lot about school!)

But yosh! I got a tamagotchi on Wednesday as an early Christmas presentt~ I’m so happy T__T!! ahaha, I’ve been wanting one for the longest time, but it’s kinda expensive for an old trend (£15!!! I would have thought it’ll be under £5!!)!! Heheh thank you sweetie pie!! I’ll take good care of her *__*b!!! <3<3<3


Other stuff that happened is;

1) I quitted from the t-shirt printing group! I felt bad because since I’ve joined, I’ve only did two designs and they did two designs daily. When they told me their ideas and concepts for me to draw, I realized that it’s not my number one priority. I’m not taking it seriously when they are since they even tried taking out a business loan from the bank… T__T;;

2) I’m applying to do foundation art! I think it’ll be fun, though lots of work! <3 I leave the “deciding what to do with my life” till later.

3) I watched 30 days of night and Beowulf in cinema, both of them are watchable but I’m not sure if I’ll recommend them! 30 days of night is worth watching because of Josh Harnett~ *__* and Beowulf is fun since it’s in 3D and you get 3D glasses! Lol

Woww~~ I haven’t updated in a while! I need to keep my blog alive since I’m not really active anywhere else ;w;
But onto the random update of news!!:

• In school, I dropped media studies, so I won’t be making a documentary and have more free time! But I left my partner to continue it by himself. But I really had to quit that class since I was doing a lot of the work myself and couldn’t take it anymore. I almost cried when talking to my teacher about leaving! Lol, I felt so bad… but now I feel kinda stupid = 3=;;
• I was accepted as an in-page graphic designer for my school magazine/year book, so I feel kinda happy to be part of it! Make lots of happy memories! Though it’ll take up some of my time…
• I also joined one of my classmates in designing t-shirts, but I’m not really sure what he wants/expects from me, so I have really started yet ;A;
• I didn’t make it to the October London expo, since I had work! But I dunno… some reason I don’t feel excited about it anymore, every time it’s the same~ so I already know what to expect? I didn’t even think about it until it was mentioned before! I “left/skipped” work around 12ish today, so I still had time to go, but I didn’t feel the urge to… and I didn’t need to cosplay with the others…so I had no reason to go? It’s weird…ahaha, maybe because I know I’ll spend A LOT on merchandise, especially if there are Totoro stuffs… I’ve lost my passion for conventions!! @A@;;

[mood| lazy]

[mood| tired]

Yosh yosh, taking a break from some work to post old art and a short manga...! (from early last year/2006?) Anyways... looking back, there are so many mistakes! T^T;; please don't laugh... *cowers in corner* I don't think I've improved massively, but I still feel kinda happy *0*!!



( scary old art O_O!!  )


( click to read the short silly manga here! )


ahh~~ The one thing I learnt from making those pages were... too much tone work is not always good... unless you're a tone master *__*;;;;

[mood| gloomy]

[mood| working]

Testing out new pens I received today >__<;;

ahh~! I worry too much!
I’m still moping around about how I did in my last exam and how I feel like I’ve let myself down. I should be thinking like THIS: “At least I have another chance to correct my wrongs”, “At least I know I didn’t fail completely” and “That’s what I get for being over confident!”
I want to enjoy my summer >A<;;

(In the drawing~ his t-shirt label is sticking out, thats the thing flapping out!)
